Daniels showed frustration when Washington's attorney, Christopher Slusher, and Boone County Assistant Prosecutor Andrea Hayes, submitted a joint request for the continuance. Daniels noted that the case is now in its 13th month with this continuance.

According to previous Missourian reporting, Washington was arrested in September 2010 for third-degree domestic assault in connection with a dispute with his ex-girlfriend. According to the police report, Washington refused to leave the victim's home, then grabbed her by the throat, pinned her down and struck her multiple times in the face. He then pressed his fingers into her eyes, she told police.

Washington was not in court on Friday. A jury trial for the sexual assault charge was scheduled for 9 a.m Sept. 20, before Circuit Judge Kevin Crane. A hearing on the sexual assault charge was also scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday.
